Silky to lefty radio host: I’m amazed you’re still on the air

“We have to fight back against these people. We can’t let them do this kind of stuff to us. And they’re always going to be very powerful forces that don’t want us to hear my voice, and the voices of those like not just me, the voices of those like us.

They want to shut all of us up, Ed. That’s what this is all about. I’m amazed you’re still able to talk on the radio.

They don’t want to hear this stuff. And what we have to make clear is we’re gonna stand up and fight and we together, all of us, we will not be silenced.”

Via Brian Maloney, who notes via e-mail that the constant references to a shadowy “they” call to mind some of Perot’s greatest hits. Maybe. But Perot’s nuttier moments seemed sincere; Silky’s, true to unctuous form, are almost certainly contrived to appeal to the fightin’ nutroots, who now dominate his campaign. Nothing gets them off like the heroic image of themselves as a powerless but passionate grassroots insurgency challenging the establishment; the title of Kos’s book suggests as much. Edwards is just tossing them some chum on that count. The Man can’t handle the truth they’re selling so They have to make fun of Silky’s mane and try to silence Ed Schultz, whom no one except Ed Schultz has ever heard of. It’s all a “distraction” from the “real issues,” like the war on terror and the Anbar awakening and everything else that’s politically inconvenient for the left.

Expect plenty of quasi-conspiratorial garbage along these lines in his speech to Yearly Kos. Exit question: Does the fact that the entire Democratic presidential field skipped the DLC meeting and RSVP’d for yKos bear at all on what presently constitutes the “establishment” on the left?

He is right. I don’t want to hear that stuff. That’s why I don’t tune into that radio station.

But I don’t know any rightie who would waste their time trying to get liberal radio off the air. It’s pointless. No one listens to it anyway. (Not to mention Conservatives generally appreciation for the constitution and the first amendment.)

The left’s attempt to get a foothold in talk radio. They probably think because he sounds less like a sniveling wuss like Kos and more surly like Bob Beckel, he’ll be more appealing to the average listener, who they believe is a stupid troglodyte.

KP spun this on O’Reilly on Monday night by saying that the candidates show up to the DLC meeting prior to a general election not before a primary. To me that means the “moderates” have given up the selection process to the kos crowd.

Heh. But they aren’t the mainstream of the party Allahpundit, Kirsten says so…

So how does this help the Dems? They cater to Kosacks while support for the wasr rises, they have painted themselves into an ideological corner, hence Spanky’s outburst yesterday. Are hey really base enough to be for the war again?

The clip of Hilary screeching “Everyone knows this is George Bush’s war” will come in real handy in 2008. Yeah you are right Hil it is his war good thing were winning it. History will be far more kind to George Bush when Iraq is a functioning democracy. He and he alone is the reason we are still there.

Unfortunately he’s in aneighboring state North dakota… but that only encourages the left wiong media here in MN to cover him at all. But, with Schultz’d goofiness and now Al Franken running for the Senate here, you thought Jesse ventura was a joke?…. Should be fun. Kick lefties off radio? Why? It’s too much fun watching them commit seppuku!

Edwards is seeing monsters under his bed. This is a play to the base that think Bush has SS Shock Troops running around. Outside of their little bubble, it makes him sound stupid. No one is trying to silence him. That’s what his party is trying to do with the (Un)Fairness Doctrine.

Who is this Ed Schultz guy?

He’s the liberal Rush Limbaugh!…no, wait, that was the last half-dozen guys they tried to give a radio show…I don’t know who he is…does anyone?…Bueller?

No way, Jay. Edwards is the life of the party, and he needs to keep the party going. He was a pandering, absurd caricature of a trial lawyer turned pol when this thing started, and he has devolved into a comedy on so many levels now…I can’t wait for videos of his speeches.

The fag walk, the blinking, the eyes closed poseur look, the hilarious “environmental” kook act with the 100 acre, 28,000 square foot house, and flying his fey hair stylist to North Carolina from LA for a trim? Are you kidding me?

No, Jay … Edwards cannot shut up. He needs to keep it flapping until the bubbles come up from the seaweed…

“We” (TINW) haven’t tried to shut them (Ed Schultz, Air America, etc.) up, because “we” (TINW) want them to suffer the humiliation of being seen by America to the be losers they are. “We” (TINW) know that they will despair in mental anguish as they discover that nobody listens to them or cares what they have to say, becasue America thinks that the are rabbid idiots.

Or course, There Is No We, but they won’t believe it. That’s how paranoia works….

They want to shut all of us up, Ed. That’s what this is all about. I’m amazed you’re still able to talk on the radio.

Note to TPTB within the VRWC: Ed Schultz, whoever that is, must be… silenced.

Due to over reliance on our Reptilian Overlord’s teleportation devices it is no longer feasible to beam him to the mothership. It is suggested that the MIB or missiles that leave no evidence fired from black UN helicopters be utilized to deal with the problem.

Nobody is trying to shut him up. If he wanted to, I’m sure the huge talk radio hosts, Hannity, O’Rielly, and Levine, and others, would love to have Silky spreading his message on their shows. Just call in. Anytime!

Doesn’t he have to say something that makes people feel threatened before “they” try to shut him up? Or show some sign that maybe, possibly, somehow he might at least be nominated?
He does know we’re laughing at him, right? Not tearing our hair (heaven forbid!) in anguish over the effectiveness of his Fiery Words of Silky Liberal Truth?

Nobody is trying to shut Edwards up. O’Reilly and Hannity would love for him to come on their programs and talk forever. It just takes some guts and real conviction in your position to confront opposing viewpoints and Kewpie Doll has neither. Maybe he should send his wife.

His whole campaign is being built on she, they, them. First 2 Americas, AC, FNC, and now this. Sounds like he’s trying to build up a vast left-wing conspiracy to me…Or isn’t that already happening. My head hurts

Forgot about the Exit Question
Well it seems to be that way. But I saw harold Ford and KP saying that it wasn’t important for the primaries. I didn’t agree, but then again, I’m not a part of that party. So were they just toeing the party line?

Ed Schultz and Al Franken were on for an hour each day (Limbaugh had only one hour a day also) on Armed Forces Network radio here in Japan. When the AM transmitter took a dump, Limbaugh still got an hour on the FM dial. I don’t know about the other two. Funny how even though they have zilch ratings in the states AFN gave them all the same 60 minutes.
